Going Driftless is going on the road to Boliver, Missouri on August 4th.

If you have the time and the inclination try to make it to the TRI-LAKE Flyfihsers monthly meeting on August 4th in Boliver, Missouri. I will be giving a presentation called "GOING DRIFTLESS..." I will discuss fly fishing opportunities in Southeastern Minnesota and Southeastern Wisconsin. It is bound to be a hoot. Hope to see you there.

More 2014 Driftless oddities...First Fishes and new caddis'

Here are a couple more interesting tid-bits from our the recent trip to the Driftless area in Wisconsin. Both come from the Kickapoo.
 
Net spinning Caddis

The first is a really interesting Caddis I seen. Actually, it is the caddis house more than the caddis itself. This little guy built or spin a little net that looked like a cabana . The water would flow in to the opening and to the back where he lived on the scraps that floated in. I had heard of these net spinners, but this is the first I have ever seen. Pretty Cool.

Q-Balls first brown Trout

Okay, so Q-Ball may not quite classify as an complete oddity, but I have to show you a photograph of his first ever brown trout. This came on what else...a PINK SQUIRREL.
